The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng has lodged an urgent complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission regarding critical security threats, asbestos hazards, and deteriorating infrastructure at Eersterust Secondary School in Tshwane. Impacting 915 students, these severe conditions—compounded by a recent classroom robbery—highlight the Gauteng Department of Education's (GDE) continued failure to ensure a safe learning environment. Colleen Makhubele spoke to Michael Waters MPL - DA Gauteng Spokesperson for Education, Itumeleng Mothlabane Equal Education, Matakanye Matakanya National Association Of School Governing Body and Bongani Ndlovu - Gauteng Regional chairperson for National Teachers Union.
